Great B&B with ocean views

Reviewed By John G

My wife and teenage daughter stayed for two nights as the first leg of driving the Garden Route from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. The Bay Lodge was a great way to start with our host (Villieria) looking after us (she booked a restaurant for us the day we arrived; she gave us feedback on the shark diving tours). The lodge is a double story house with about 5 rooms overlooking the ocean. We had the room on the ground floor connecting to the kitchen but we did not feel crowded in. Villiieria had a good sense of balance between looking after us and leaving us time to ourselves. She came and went without us noticing. The room itself was well decorated with a mini bar and fridge and a spacious balcony overlooking the ocean (great for a sundowner glass of champagne). There is a short walk down to the beachfront and nice to walk along. It is possible to swim close to the shore but there are no designated swimming areas. The included breakfast prepared by both Villieria and her maid Mavis was great (hot cooked breakfast, cereals, juice, coffee, etc). Villieria had booked dinner for us at 'Thyme At Rosemary' restaurant which was very good. Just a few mins drive from the lodge to Gansbaai. After a two night stay we continued on our travels along the Garden Route but looking back this was my favourite B&B on the trip. Thank you Villieria

Wonderful

Reviewed By vive71

Johannes is the friendliest and warmest host you could hope to find anywhere on your travels. He truly enjoys hosting people in his lovely home and it shows in the way he takes care of his guests. The home is situated about 5 minutes drive away from the shark cage diving harbour and not far from the coast where you can spend some time watching the whales. The rooms are well appointed and very clean. Shower and toilets were great with plenty of hot water. The breakfast muffin was the best I've ever tasted and Johannes has plenty of stories from his extensive travels around the world.

A Quality Stay in the Fynbos Paradise!

Reviewed By KirstenAdams4

The Crayfish Lodge guesthouse is the beautiful architectural-equivalent of its quality hosts, Sandra and Reinhardt. Sandra's keen eye for detail, her great taste buds, and passion for organic foods serves for quality, healthy breakfast. Together the couple provide warm hospitality, and you can count on them to recommend the most enjoyable hot spots of Gansbaai. The guesthouse is located in an ideal part of Gansbaai, capturing the impeccable sunset, curbing the south-easter wind of Cape Town, making it a haven for a spectacular sundowner or night cap in view of the beautiful sea horizon, and for a calm night's rest. It has been my second visit, and the stay is consistently spectacular. I 100% recommend the guesthouse as your go to spot in Gansbaai!

Feels like visiting...

Reviewed By YolandeHeyns

We enjoyed the stay at Franskraal B&B. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly. From arriving, they make you feel as though you are visiting family. I enjoyed the finer touches to detail (like the cherry and biscuits and rusks). The facility is good for wheelchair users. Clean and neat.
